Political Ambition Violent Passions
The Race for lioney.
The alarming disease Of this
country is nervous debility and
prosraiion. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average Of lie
in the United States IS de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are 50
frequent rs scarcely to excite
remark. The majority Of sui
cidcs, committed without APP
puentrcason, ormdcrso-callcd
"deprcssion Of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prosh.ation, which is fruitful
source Of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs Of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; ow careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mcntaland physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence
the fears and struggles of pow.
erty; the use Of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
orr despcrate WILLINGNESS to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn l.fe's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the craveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
ish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs Of Digestion, Assi1n-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no ENACT
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its waInines:-headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull hcayincss or aching at the
bascofta- brain; wakciulncss;
loss ofappetiteand disgIstwith
food; lo-- Of mental energy aad
interest in ordinary duties and
business; rcstlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional eiddiness;
palpitation Of the heart; sal
iowncss Of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each Individual case, and the
use Of shaker Eriract ofRoots
(Seigcls Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community Of Mt. Leb-
anon, n. V, is csprcialIyadapt-
cd to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do ills it acts
directly and gently bat power
fully upon the ordered stom-
acb, liver and kidneys, restor-
inc their tone and vi FOR, pro-
noting the secretion Of bile, ex-
polling waste matters from the
syStcm,and purifying inc DloOd.
Upon tie nervous system
Shaker ErhoctlSciee Syrup
acts as u safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat
ural tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more nerv-
Gus dyspcpiics have been re-
stored BY it from the depths
of misery to fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other forms of treatment
.bined.
